WTO/TWW - Week of August 14th

[kam3100]

This is for all ladies 35+ who find themselves somewhere on their TTC journey. Come and vent here with us.

How is everyone doing this week?

[kam3100]

I'm CD11 and expect to ovulate this week. This is the first time I've ever temped so I am curious if FF will catch O.

I'm ready for summer to be over. I'm in Phoenix and it's so hot plus it's been humid. How is everyone else's summer?

CD 2 for me I am kicking myself for putting off TTC for so long. We were so lucky to get pregnant so easily the first time around. I am just bummed!

I work year round so the end of summer doesn't mean much for me but I will miss the warm weather.

I'm right here with you. Got pregnant easy for number one. Now, not happening. It's gutting me each month.

Hugs Yogurt Hugs & Wine!!! Let's hope this is our month!!!

It would be amazing if we were all in the May/June birth month together.

Yogurt, are you able to overlay your charts and share?
Anyone else?

[Yogurt]

I am 7 cycles PP, and I only used opks the first 5, so I only have 2 charts with temps.

[kam3100]

I am no chart expert but I wonder if FF doesn't identify O correctly? Are you able to confirm that your O dates with opks? It almost looks like you could have O'd on the 13th day. But I suppose that second drops is. Idk.

When I saw that drop and spike, I thought the same thing. Here is this last chart witg opks visible, the overlay doesn't show all that.

[MauLoaM0M]

kam3100 That would be amazing & that's what I'm hoping for! I've only used OPKs in the past but just bought my BBT yesterday so I'm new to charting.

Yogurt so have you been trying for 7 months?

No, I got my period back on like new years eve, so it's been 7 cycles post partum. I just did opks to see when and if I was ovulating. My 4 cycles before I got pregnant were 60 days, 30 days, 60 days 30 days. We hit my fw in June, July, and August with no luck. We ntnp in may.

[kam3100]

Oh I see. Sigh, I wish I knew how to help. I think the short LP would be my first concern.

This is my first month temping too. Fertility friend gave me my crosshairs 4 days ago. My chart fascinates me. I am a nerd...so charts and data get me excited.

Yogurt I have a feeling that this maybe my problem as well even though it was not an issue last time. Sigh. Anyway I've been reading studies that say that Vitamin C supplements are supposed to help lengthen short LPs. And it's not like taking Vitamin C can hurt so I'm gonna give it a try.
